Xfce panel launcher direct to document

[elmosim2]

I'm running xfce and I'm trying to create a launcher on the panel that will open a document directly. Is there any way to do this?

Do I just need the way to open that document from a terminal?

Nevermind, I was trying to do this using abiword, instead I'll use open office.

openoffice /home/user/document.doc

If you put this on the Command line in the create launcher wizard, it should work. Anything that works in a terminal should work in the Launcher.

openoffice /home/user/document.doc

If you're looking just to quick open/edit without all the extras that come with OpenOffice, you can use a program like gedit


gedit /home/user/document.doc

or mousepad (first line is to install)


sudo apt-get install mousepad

then, in the wizard, use the below as your command

mousepad /home/user/document.doc
